Manchester United: Eric Bailly could have Uefa ban extended

Manchester United's Eric Bailly could have his European ban extended after Uefa opened disciplinary proceedings after his red card against Celta Vigo.

The Ivory Coast defender, 23, was dismissed after a brawl in the final minutes of United's Europa League semi-final aggregate victory on Thursday.

A direct red card carries a one-match ban - which means he will miss the final - but Uefa will determine whether to extend that at a hearing on 20 July.

His case does not qualify for appeal.

European football's governing body only overturns decisions made by the referee in cases of mistaken identity.
